Your living allowance is considered a form of income and will be subject to State and Federal taxes. Depending on your site, you may also have local city or municipal taxes. While our fellows are not considered employees of GO, GO is required by law to withhold taxes.
We recommend using a paycheck calculator to get a better understanding of how your individual circumstances and factors will determine your post-tax stipend amount.
